Affinity of a new copper(II) complex to DNA/BSA and antioxidant/radical scavenging activities: crystal structure of [Cu(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(leucine)(NO3)(H2O)]

Abstract A new copper(II) complex, [Cu(Bphen)(Leu)(NO3)(H2O)] (Bphen = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, leu = L-leucine), has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, CHN analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The CT-DNA binding properties of the complex have been investigated by both absorption and emission spectroscopy. The binding parameters for the fluorescence Scatchard plot were also determined. Further, the interaction of the complex with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy. The thermodynamic parameters, free energy change (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH), and entropy change (ΔS), were calculated by the van’t Hoff equation and discussed. The distance between BSA and the complex has been obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Conformational changes of BSA have been observed from synchronous fluorescence. Antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of the complex were determined by various in vitro assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radicals (DPPH˙), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals (ABTS˙+), and reducing ability determination by H2O2 scavenging methods.

Synthesis, crystal structure, stability studies, DNA/albumin interactions, and antimicrobial activities of two Cu(II) complexes with amino acids and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline

Abstract One-dimensional (1-D) coordination polymer and mononuclear copper(II) complexes, ([Cu(nphen)(asn)]ClO4)n (1) and [Cu(nphen)(gln)(H2O)]ClO4·H2O (2) (nphen = 5-nitro-110-phenanthroline, asn = asparagine, gln = glutamine), have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, CHN analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with nphen, asn, and gln have been investigated using potentiometric methods in 0.1 M KCl aqueous ionic media at 298.2 K. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of 1 and 2 have been calculated from the potentiometric data using the “BEST” software package. The potentiometric results have been analyzed using the “SPE” software package, and the distribution curves for the copper-containing species have been determined for the ternary systems. The CT-DNA-binding properties of these complexes have been investigated by thermal denaturation measurements and both absorption and emission spectroscopy. Further, the interaction of these complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy. The thermodynamic parameters, free energy change (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH), and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated by the van’t Hoff equation and discussed. The distances between the serum albumins and 1 and 2 have been obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Conformational changes of serum albumins have been observed from synchronous fluorescence technique. The antimicrobial activity of the complexes has also been tested on some bacteria. The effect of different amino acids on the copper(II) complexes are discussed.

New binary copper(II) complexes containing intercalating ligands: DNA interactions, an unusual static quenching mechanism of BSA and cytotoxic activities

New binary copper(II) complexes – [Cu(4-mphen)2(NO3)]NO3·H2O (1), [Cu(5-mphen)2 (NO3)]NO3·H2O (2), the known complex [Cu(dmphen)2(NO3)]NO3 (3) and [Cu(tmphen)2 (NO3)]NO3·H2O (4) - (4-mphen: 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-mphen: 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, dmphen: 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, tmphen: 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analysis, ESI-MS, FTIR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Interaction of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated by absorption spectral titration, ethidium bromide (EB) and Hoechst 33,258 displacement assay and thermal denaturation measurement. These complexes cleaved pUC19 plasmid DNA in the absence and presence of an external agent. Notably, in the presence of H2O2 as an activator, the cleavage abilities of these complexes are obviously enhanced at low concentration. Addition of hydroxyl radical scavengers like DMSO shows significant inhibition of the DNA cleavage activity of these complexes. BSA quenching mechanism was investigated with regard to the type of quenching, binding constant, number of binding locations and the thermodynamic parameters. The experimental results suggested that the probable quenching mechanism was an unusual static process and hydrophobic forces play a dominant role. The CT-DNA and BSA binding efficiencies of these complexes follow the order: 4 > 3 > 1 > 2. Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicities of these complexes on tumor cells lines (Caco-2, MCF-7 and A549) and healthy cell line (BEAS-2B) showed that these complexes exhibited anticancer activity with low IC50 values. The effect of hydrophobicity of the methyl-substituted phenanthrolines on DNA and protein binding activities of these complexes is discussed.

Synthesis, characterisation, and equilibrium studies of 1-(2-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinazolin-2-yl)-ethanone oxime and the copper(II) complex of its open-chain tautomer

Abstract1-(2-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinazolin-2-yl)-ethanone oxime (ETQX, HL) and the Cu(II) complex of its open-chain tautomer were synthesised and characterised by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, thermal analyses, and spectral (IR, NMR, AAS, LC-MS, and UV-Vis) studies. The accumulated data exhibited that the ligand underwent a ring-opening reaction upon formation of a mononuclear Cu(II) complex in which the chain tautomer acted as an N,N,N-donor. The Cu(II) complex was formed in a 1 : 1 (M : HL′) ratio, as indicated by analytical results and the general formula was elucidated to be [Cu(HL′)Cl]Cl. The protonation constants of ETQX and the stability constants of the complex species formed with the Cu(II) of ETQX were studied by the potentiometric method at 25°C in 0.1 M KCl ionic medium. A complexation model for the Cu(II)-ETQX system was established with the software program “BEST” based on the potentiometric data. The concentration distribution curves of ETQX and Cu(II)-ETQX complex species in solution were evaluated by the SPE software program. The stoichiometry of the Cu(II) complex in solution was observed to be similar to that of the solid state Cu(II) complex.
